The Gospel of the Kingdom - The First Commission and the Great Commission

In the second episode of "Maverick Reformers," hosts Seth and Richard are joined by special guest Bishop Bill Mikler to dive deeper into the core biblical mandates that define a true follower of Christ. Moving beyond standard religious assumptions, the trio dismantles the cultural division between a believer's calling and everyday life. By re-examining the original instructions given by God to humanity alongside Christ’s final charge to His disciples, this episode challenges viewers to look past a passive faith and embrace an active, kingdom-focused lifestyle that addresses the practical needs of modern society.

The discussion unpacks how the original "First Commission"—the cultural mandate to cultivate, build, and positively influence the world around us—perfectly aligns with the "Great Commission" to make disciples of nations. Drawing from Bishop Mikler's extensive theological and leadership background, the conversation argues that a holistic understanding of the gospel means living out the kingdom of God across all spaces, from local business to cultural leadership, rather than settling for a minimized faith focused only on the concept of "going to heaven." The hosts and their guest prompt viewers to evaluate how they are practically advancing the kingdom in their daily routines, leaving space below for community discussion, questions, and feedback.
